You just never know what I might write about.

6 Month Ago Today . .

. . . at right about this exact same minute my life completely changed in a matter of about 9 seconds (not 9 months). I was blessed to be given the most wonderful little 5 month old baby boy. Who would have thought that a little guy that weighed less than 20 pounds could make my life so complete. We have been perfect for each other because we both needed what the other could give. I needed to be a mommy and he was blessed enough to have a mother that loved him enough to give him to me. Although the adoption is not complete yet, I can’t imagine my life without him and am feeling truly blessed during this Christmas season.

In the past 6 months I’ve watched Zach change from a little guy who could not sit-up or hold a bottle to a little terror (said very lovingly) that I can’t keep out of anything. He is a mastermind, very curious and quickly figures out how to do almost anything he wants. He definitely keeps me on my toes and when he finally goes to sleep at 8:00 I about fall into the recliner because he’s worn this old lady out!

This weekend his 2nd top tooth popped so I’ve been singing “All I Want for Christmas” to him all weekend. He’s such a good sport and doesn’t start crying when I sing. I’m sure soon he’ll be talking and I’ll be hearing “mommy, don’t sing!” but in the meantime he suffers with me. He humors me so, for now. It will all change, but for now I sure am enjoying my little “turd”. I mean, how can you not love this innocent little boy

In 15 days he’ll be a whole year old. Wow, the past 6 months sure have flown in the most magnificant way.
